Oh, Rose ... belated Congratulations on the approval of your spousal visa!

I would've been in touch earlier ... had it not been for my lad's wedding on Friday. And then, of course ... getting to grips with navigating the forum's new layout.
As regards the return of your Birth Certificate & Marriage Contract, I've just been checking with Myrna to remind me whether she got HERS back - and apparently not!

But she tells me her nearest NSO Regional Office in Davao City provided her with authenticated copies of these documents for CFO purposes. Hope this helps!
